England: man kills girlfriend over her facebook photo with another man
Mar 09, 2010 in Uncategorized
Paul Bristol has been jailed for life and ordered to serve at least 22 years for killing his girlfriend after seeing her on Facebook with another man.
An Old Bailey jury took only an hour to convict Bristol, 25, of murder on Friday.
Camille Mathurasingh, 27, died less than two weeks after he saw her with new love Besim Haxhia.
Bristol got on a plane and flew 4,000 miles from Trinidad to England to challenge her.
He stabbed the accountant 20 times at her home in Bow, east London, before cutting himself and crashing her car last April.
Bristol, an IT technician for the Trinidad and Tobago Ministry of Administration, had denied murder, claiming manslaughter through provocation.
Judge Timothy Pontius told Bristol: “Clearly you were eaten up by jealousy.”
